To measure the internal wave field on the upper
continental slope over long time duration (> 1 year), and to estimate the
effects of internal waves on the transport of sediment over the slope.

Information to be Derived

Seasonal changes in the internal temperature field over the slope, with analysis
of the internal waves in this region.

Summary

See also P496NC and F196NC. Time-series measurements (hourly) of
temperature at 12 depths, currents and light transmission at three
depths for
over one year. This mooring was in 450m water depth; USGS had 9
temperature
sensors at 150m, 250m, 300m, 320m, 340m, 360m, 380m, 400m, and 437m;
University of Washington had current meters, conductivity gauges,
temperature sensors, and light transmission meters at 60m, 180m, and
435m on
the mooring; and SUNY had sediment traps on the mooring.
